    Great! Glad you've decided to take on the responsibility of owning a gun! I'd suggest doing a lot of research before making your purchase.

    In Maryland, you may not carry a handgun without a permit specifically allowing you to do so. It's quite difficult to get, but there are lawsuits currently underway to help reduce the difficulty. Please make sure you study the law for yourself, it's a gun owners responsibility to know and follow the law at all times.

    Um, you have legal obligations to follow to legally carry a firearm in the state of MD.
    It is a long and arduouos process that may or may not happen.

    In the meantime, like I tell all my friends, practice a lot and then practice some more with your firearms.

    Jim & Crabby: THANKYOU I did see you need a permit I use to be a office admin and should have gotten my gun and permit last yr when I took money to and from the bank BUT did not now I have no reason to carry one I'm not in danger, no threats to me etc so it will be a bear to even try dang!!! sure do not want to get pulled over by cops or in a wreck and not be legal to have it on me!!!! I'm very excited to go to ranges with hubby who has had guns all his life. Brat

    If you carry without a permit anywhere besides your own private property and get caught say goodbye to your handgun and right to own firearms for the rest of your life, it's a felony. Apply for a permit if you wish but unless you have a "good and substantial reason" to carry a concealed firearm you will just be throwing money at the Maryland state police for an interview and a denial of a permit. Take your gun to a range and get to know it, shoot it often and enjoy it. Come down to Annapolis on Wednesday February 6th and join other gun owners in our rally to kill the nonsense gun laws our politicians are trying to ram down our throats we need women, men and families to stand up and be heard.
